side entry bottle cages ... Are there good ones/bad ones?
I've got Blackburn Wayside cages. They don't strike me as particularly good for getting bottles in. This strikes me as a key area in which side entry bottle cages need to perform well.
On the upside: once in, the bottles haven't fallen out, and they're available in a wide range of colours for bike tartification.

Looking at Zefal WIIZ - seem to be both side entry and come with adapters for lower mounting - for £3.95

Spesh ones are a few grams lighter though. All about saving those grams after climbing FoD hills all weekend.

First proper ride loaded up with bikepacking bags - side entry bottle cages are now on the shopping list.
